Schwarzer Engel – Träume Einer Nacht (2012)

German metal today comes on the most weird, but exciting forms. you see cases like Lacrimas Profundere, Lacrimosa, Flowing Tears, Rammstein and so on, that made you think. From where this bands get the inspiration to write such of good music without being repetitive and boring?. Well A couple of weeks ago I received one of those cases, I am talking about Schwarzer Engel(Black Angel), a gothic/industrial metal band that just released their second album Träume Einer Nacht under End Of The Light Records, their first one was Apokalypse back in January.

The album has 13 pounding songs that swing between different genres some have black metal influences, some dark metal, some gothic metal, but is definitely an industrial part linked to all of them. the band sings in German, but that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy the music they play. The album was recorder at the famous Dreamscape records (Visions Of Atlantis & Serenity) in Munich, Germany

Träume Einer Nacht shows a more developed sound from Schwarzer Engel, from a pure dark metal perspective to a more open concept, more daring and stronger. the album also includes A. Alexander Kaschte (Samsas Traum) as a guess singer on the track Fieber Im Blut. Even though the comparisons to Rammstein are unavoidable. Schwarzer Engel‘s music doesn’t deny their influence, but the character that Dave Jones put on Träume einer Nacht made it stands on its own and move forward on the band’s path of evolution.
